Fast Sample Availability

G-Hexa provides small-quantity membrane samples for pilot-scale testing, with shorter lead times than European suppliers. Perfect for R&D programs and proof-of-concept installations.

Performance at Any Scale

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance delivers efficiency benefits whether your electrolyser is 10 kW or 10 MW, making every pilot project a showcase of what is achievable at full scale.

Technical Partnership

G-Hexa's engineering team provides hands-on support for membrane integration into custom electrolyser designs, from cell sizing to operating parameter optimization.

Custom Membrane Sizing

Pilot and decentralized electrolysers often use non-standard cell formats. G-Hexa offers custom cutting and sizing for IONZERA membranes to match your specific cell geometry.

Pilot & Decentralized H2 Plants in Houston

Houston is the energy capital of the United States and a central node in the DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub initiative. The city's concentration of refineries, petrochemical complexes, and industrial gas companies creates the largest hydrogen demand center in North America. Houston's energy industry expertise is rapidly pivoting toward clean hydrogen production.

For Houston hydrogen projects seeking to maximize IRA production tax credits, IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces electricity cost per kg of H2. This improves net returns from the $3/kg PTC. IONZERA also diversifies membrane supply for American electrolyser OEMs beyond single-source European dependency.
